Donald Trump decided to lift the veto on Huawei. At the very least, allow American companies to do business with the Chinese manufacturer. This means that the future terminals of the company may continue to carry Android as an operating system, as well as Google applications. Even so, and possibly for security reasons, Huawei continues to work on HongMeng OS, its own operating system. Little by little new unknowns are revealed. Everything indicates that it will be faster than Android and that it will have compatibility with Google's operating system apps. Now, and after months of slight leaks of images and features, we already know some features of HonMeng OS.
The truth is that Huawei's operating system will look a lot like Android, and especially EMUI, the customization layer that the company uses on its devices. According to HuaweiCentral, users have already been able to test the company's operating system and have talked to this medium about the features. Especially those functionalities focused on the interface. It seems that the icons have been redesigned, there are new animations and faster transitions. In addition, there is a new notification panel and quick settings, with larger icons and a new design. There are also improvements to the camera interface with a much more intuitive design and with new controls. Something that we have already seen in the Android Q beta for the Huawei P30.
Always-on screen and lock screen improvements
HonMeng OS will also feature a new ringtone, as well as a new reminders option in the system settings. Finally, it seems that the Always-on screen will improve, since it includes the possibility of adding widgets, reminders and more. Lastly, the lock screen has been redesigned.
It seems there are more hidden functions. According to the source, the user who had access to this beta of HongMeng could not enter some settings and applications. Possibly because Huawei had restricted access to them. In addition, this operating system has been tested on a device that is unknown, since the user has not wanted to talk about this mobile. Of course, it is believed that Huawei could launch a special edition of the Mate 30 with HongMeng OS.
It is still too early to know what will happen to the company's operating system. Most likely, they will ditch it and stick with Android. However, we could see the odd model with this self-developed system.
